Khang's Blog: Pistons Future Looks Bright

I can't believe I'm going to write this but the Detroit Piston's future is looking bright. Yes the same team that started the season 5-20 is now 16-27. They have two very young promising players to build around in center Greg Monroe and point guard Brandon Knight. But it's seems that the key to the Piston's success is Knight's backcourt mate Rodney Stuckey. When Stuckey is engaged and focused the Pistons are very competitive and actually fun to watch. Stuckey has the potential to score 25 points a night and become a very solid defender for this team. And at only 25 years old he is part of the Piston's future success. With these 3 players you have a good nucleus to build a team. The Pistons will probably miss the playoffs this year which isn't necessarily a bad thing. If the Pistons are lucky enough to draft an athletic forward with superstar potential in the NBA lottery it won't be long before they are back in the hunt for Eastern conference titles once again.
